Nice review mate. I’ve been eyeing one of these up, I think it looks minimal and useful. You don’t even know it’s there when switched off too.

Thank you mate, it’s definitely a great investment I’d say. Plus, you have a flat monitor so you’d get an even better experience with it.

Had one of these for a while. Great video, Chris 👍🏻

Looks like it makes a huge difference to general desk lighting, tempted by this as I use an Apple keyboard with no backlight!

Is it possible to use the screenbar as kind of a studio light so you can film with a Webcam and use the screenbar to light up the face? My Question is if the Screenbar can be turned up so much that the light from it shines in the face?

Technically yes, but you would have to mount it somehow, you’d be better off buying a ring light. It would be much cheaper and serve your purpose

does it damage the screen for thin bezel monitors because it clamps to it? i m worried that it can cause screen bleeding in the long run

@ChrisWilmshurst

I'm still wondering which version of the screenbar to get. The plus version has the small control puck on the table. It looks more practical, but costs more and it does mean more 'junk' on the table...

It all depends on whether you can see your self adjusting it regularly. With my setup it turns on when the monitor is on and it auto adjust throughout the day. I don’t ever mess with it.

Does seem useful but it takes away the space for an HD webcam for calls. If somehow, you can put it above it, it creates more disparity in recording/streaming angle for calls. Thoughts?

They’ve released a new version since this was posted which has a mount for a webcam, alternatively you could buy a table top tripod or an elgato arm to mount a webcam to just off to the side

I think you'd probably need two to cover such a huge screen as you'd most likely have dead spots where the single light can't hit (probably around the top left and right corners)

This is the regular one (no hockey puck) and you can connect it to anything that powers usb, for me I used my monitor as it turns on and off when my monitor does. And as I have it on auto settings I don’t ever have to touch it once the monitor is on or off
